“Redemption is the invisible, the unreachable, the impossible that meets us as hope” (Karl Barth, Romans)
“Christ has no hands but ours to do His work today.
No feet but ours to lead others.
No lips but ours to speak.
No help but ours to lead them to Himself.
We are the only Bible people read.
We are God’s last message
– written in deeds and words.”
